"Come with me, My Love.""Where to my lover in the mist?""To a place where no one will bother us."The moon is full, covered by the black clouds. Darkness envelops the lovers as they walk hand in hand going to the center of the forest. Where they kissed amidst the chilling winds blowing, carrying the smell of roses. When suddenly he howls in pain as if he is breaking, crushing bones be heard as he steps back from her. When...

How to put this discreetly. He's a man and he needs to use a restroom. Sitting down.The restroom is down near the elevators in this college classroom building. He gets off the elevator and scoots around the corner, through the restroom doors, and sees all the stalls are empty. Great. He takes one near the end, of course.Deep in meditation and concentration, he hears the door opening. Clicking of heels. Heels? High heels?Q...

I pray I never come to believe in reincarnation, because I'd slam the restart button. But if I go, then you will follow. And then who would weep for me and who would weep for you?

Dawn. They stood like five sentinels around the fire. They knew it was coming. The band started to play. “First Call!” The rest of the company stirred. Each man knowing his duty. Accouterments donned. Backpacks slung. “Company Fall In!” The men lined up. “Right face! Forward March!” The companies formed into a Regiment. Then a Battalion. Brigade next. Finally a Corps. The march began. Each man alone in his own thoughts. C...

She is happy with the nature around her. Blooming flowers make her smile. She always loves to play, dancing, laying on the bed of flowers, hands, and feet up. It calms her to be on them."Why are you always lying on the grass?" They asked her"It's comforting to be lying on them. I can smell the earth." She would replyThey wouldn't say a word about it aloud, but they would think of her as one of the crazy fools. What they d...

Final tinkling of the piano. Then "Moon River" ends and they start moving around the floor. Some chatting, some sitting on the floor and removing slippers."Come in. Here, wedge it open." The door is letting people in and out."Hi, Larry. You alright?""Yes, I'm good. I see you don't have a brace on, Paige.""Just can't leave the ground. No jumps or leaps. So, everyone here?"Taking our chosen spots."Okay, first position... pr...

I drifted to sleep and into a familiar dream.I saw you holding a glass of wine and smiling at a beautiful woman. She was dressed simply yet she was breathtaking. Her eyes were vibrant and honest; her smiles were pure and genuine. She laughed with so much glee, talked with little inhibitions. She looked content and free.She was me.I woke up with a start. I stared at the mirror, at shadows and hollows on my cheeks and eyes...

Order is the semblance of understanding, like a sturdy ship upon which we sail precariously above the oceans of suppressed concerns.The steady sway of the ocean can appear as an alluring expanse of conquered space until at once, the unexpected dangers of our subconscious appear, like a subaqueous predator, transforming our reality into an entirely unknown terrain of terror. The structure of our presuppositions upon which...

Several times a month, Pete the village tailor would take the afternoon off work to meander through the streets and along the refreshing country trails. Today was one such day.Exiting the front gate of his small cottage home, Pete breathed in the fresh dawn air. The smell of field flowers and morning dew filled the breeze, creating the atmosphere of elation to which Pete always looked forward with anticipation.He began to...

It was precisely that which had been implemented to prevent the disaster which ultimately ensured it. The great minds of old, abandoned to dusty shelves and the weathered ways of some, shone beyond the populace.War to end war.Theft to end theft.Slaves to their desire, their noble goal distorted.The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 

He took a swig of the whiskey, hoping to dull the ache inside.The illusion that he moved on shattered, demolishing all pretenses he built over time. Like an avalanche, her memories flooded his mind and senses with a vengeance that could destroy his sanity.He felt her alive once again, remembering even the taste of her kisses and the throbbing of old wounds she caused. She was his most beautiful mistake.As the sun was ecli...

He is thinking ..."Jump high...""Free falling..."The voice in his head said."Trust me""Close your eyes""Spread your arms""Now jump!"Taking a deep breath as he follows the voice talking in his head. Taking the flange.The winds hauling from where he is standing. He jumps off from the top of the rocky cliff to the ranging sea below. Waves smashing to the big rocks.Floating in the air like a weightless paper.Fearless going do...

"What are you doing?" She asked as his eyes scanned over her face."Examining your flaws," he said."What do you mean?""They weren't there before."

Being a kid, no one minds him as he collects wine bottles around the neighborhood.Every night, he carefully takes out a piece of paper and scribbles anything that comes to his mind. Sometimes a rhyme he learned from school. Sometimes a drawing. Most of the time, little stories his mom reads to him at night.At dusk each day, he runs to the shore and places the bottle on the hollow of a huge rock. Then he hides and waits ne...
